It's basically Dr. Dre's idea of what EQ settings you should have when some Beats Audio high performance equipment is plugged in. Your friends phone will detect the Beats headphones (somehow) and Beats Audio will apply a certain EQ.
There are a few ports being tested which will work with any headphones, although it remains to be seen if this is actually a benefit or a marketing gimmick. Forcing an EQ designed for a specific set of headphones may not have a desirable effect when pluggin in some cheap £20 Sony's!

Yes it's not like beats audio means it has any special audio processing hardware. It is simply an EQ tailored to get the "best" sound out of a specific set of headphones. If you are not planning on using Beats headphones, then it is kinda redundant. I'm simply curious to see if this EQ is better than my custom one using PowerAmp.
I have yet to test it myself, but I would imagine that unless you are planning on splashing out £100+ on Beats headphones, you are best of sticking with using PowerAmp and it's awesome equaliser to tune the sound to best suit the headphones you already have. Much Cheaper! Since we are on the topic, I can highly recommend the a-Jays One. IMO you'll not get a better sound for £20! Plus the cable is truly tangle-free! I'd have been very happy with these had they cost me £60.
(Also wins the prize for the most over-packaged product I've ever bought. The case is good for keeping anything you want to survive the nuclear apocolypse.)

I am sorry but this is a scam.... I don't see no difference in sound... it's pure marketing if you have sound quality boost only by software, certain EQ setting,if you will, which works only in native Music Player for HTC WTF BTW????
I hate native music player... very limited (for example, NO FLAC support, CUE sheets ... and many more features)...
PowerAmp and/or PlayerPro, maybe both
Just wanna say one thing!
Dump box HTC headset, poor sound quality... buy something else...

Have bought recently Sennheiser CX300 and I must say that the sound quality improved very much

Ben, I got myself a pair of monster beats in-canal earphones recently and I have to tell you even standalone they are great. But with the beats mod they the sound is heavenly.
I'm opposed to marketing gimmicks by principle and was skeptical at first.
But after listening to a pair of these AND comparing them to a set of Bose headphones at the same mall I concluded these are much better for the kind of music I'm used to.
However we have to remember that audio perception is a subjective feeling and not everybody may have the same taste.

Good to read a substantial review, with some actual detail, although still early and HTC could (or do I mean SHOULD) add additional hardware to later devices which could further improve the sound output from their devices, in fact to add weight to the Beats link-up it might be a good idea to do so, so as not to lose too much cred, no one feels like they're being taken for a fool.

"Beats" is a EQ software upgrade, as I understood, supported by native Music player... It is the same if you turn on an EQ function in your PlayerPro of PowerAmp... for me Beats has no purpose in my phone....
It's like.... "Heeey, it is the same phone with the same hardware and it has a autoEQ called Beats, and it is black'n'red in color, with cool headset.... please pay a fortune!!!" WTF!
UPDATE: (just read this review... kinda stepped on that one )
"The Beats Audio software isn't complete marketing vapor, but it's still inherently gimmicky and adds nothing in the XE's favor: you could achieve a better result on the original Sensation simply by downloading a third-party music player that lets you play with the EQ settings yourself. The only thing which might sway us to by the Sensation XE over its predecessor is the packaged YourBeats headphones, coupled with the red styling on the phone....."

Im sure we've all seen the 10 predictions about 2012 and how HTC will be making the new jellybean phone because Samsung is too busy with the nexus tablet.
My question is if HTC does make the jellybean nexus would you want it to beats audio if so why or why not and would it be a dealbreaker to you staining the only bloatware free phone?
I personly would like them to make it more than just an EQ setting if they insist on putting it on the nexus

HELL to the NO. Beats doesn't do jack. It's overpriced garbage for crappy sound quality. Plus it just makes our favorite high end devices cost even more money. Want real EQ capabilities? Try out Poweramp or DSP manager. Want actual good sound quality? Try out an old Samsung Galaxy device like an infuse with that Wolfson DAC. I'm still pissed Samsung went for the crappy Yamaha and ditched the Wolfson with the GSII.
Yeah leave the beats stuff out of the nexus. I'm pretty excited if HTC is really making the new device, hopefully they ditch qualcomm and get an omap with the new powerVR gpu.
Other than that I wish it not to but uber thick like htc's most recent offerings. Maybe like a revamped nexus one body?

Let's take wal-mart quality headphones and mask the terrible sound quality with reverberations that are likely extremely unhealthy in such close proximity to your eardrums. Then, we'll market them with the name of a rapper who's greatest contribution is a piece of white trash with mommy issues out of the trailer park and having him rap out of his nose... Yeah, sounds like the kind of company HTC might sign up with.
I must be in the minority as I like it. I don't use the stock player much but I did test it out and have a set or Dre headphones and it does make a difference. But unless that is your thing it most likely isn't for you. Beats out my old galaxy s any day of the week.
Hell no!

Also Beats is only a software thing, easily replaceable with PowerAMP.

Had voodoo sound on my old galaxy and the Samsung needed it badly lol. Power amp is my main player but foe those that stay stock beats is not that bad.
I'm on a headphone audiophile forum and anything Beats related is recognized as utter crap. It's horrible bass boosting software that makes you say bye bye to a flat, natural response curve. Beyond that, while it increases the impact of the bass, it muddies it up because the sub bass is overwhelmed by the hit of the others.
I don't want to go into it because the discussions are lengthy (but fascinating), but essentially the people who known what they're talking about know that Beats is junk.

It did work. They realized kids were getting smartphones at a lower and lower age and kids/teens love Beats because it makes them "cool". Lets think about if HTC would've teamed up with Audio Technica, Sennheiser, etc. It wouldn't have NEAR the effect as it has with having Beats.

The difference between "Beats" and say a normal Sensation is not huge. The volume levels between Sensation and Sensation XE are slightly different though.
Best way to experience the difference between regular and beats is to run the mudhi beats mod. There are four preset equalizer settings included:
normal
dolby (same as srs)
srs (same as dolby)
beats
(and multiple music type presets)
The difference between "normal" and "beats" is hardly anything to be noticed...
Now, here is why Beats sounds so much different on an XE rom or true beats port. The XE only has two preset equalizer settings:
normal
beats
What htc fails to mention in those settings is that "normal" is actually using srs processing. The s-curves are different between the two, but the srs also provides more of a flat sound enhancing all ranges. This is why there is a dramatic difference between "normal" and "beats".
In the end Beats is really more of a marketing gimmick than anything, and the true quality of the music is mostly determined by what headset you are using...

On this phone, Beats is just a terrible implementation of an equalizer preset. It muddies music and quite frankly, if you've used professional cans or in-ear monitors that cost you over 300 dollars, you too would probably agree that Beats does terrible things to your music.

Some songs I have that are recorded at 320kbps are reduced in sound quality. But for the majority of songs its actually an enhancement because of the low recording rate. Now I'm not saying its the best thing since ice cream or other activities but for the majority of people and equipment it actually does help. Just my 2 cents

Agreed, my pink beats in-ear gets dirty with earwax and the red "b" and the silver thingy is gone from one of the buds.
The software was just an equaliser. The headphones are just fashion accessories. One big fat gimmick if you ask me. If you're after true sound quality, look elsewhere.

Maybe beats wants more money and now they are stopping it from being in their roms, however if that happened there will always be a way to port it to any device

Beats was marketed for years by Monster cable, the company known for selling overpriced HDMI cables by claiming they somehow improve the picture quality.
I can't imagine Beats is much more than an equalizer and some overpriced headphones, I use a free equalizer from Google Play which helps audio sound better with earbuds:

I never really understood why so many ROM included these kinds of equalizers. I always prefer my music neutral. Surely sound engineers pick levels for a reason?
Forgive but to ANY FOOL who thinks beats mods bull then ur a whole hearted looser cause I happen to like it and so do millions of others if u don't like it get ur tail off this forum

I'm trying to understand something here.
From what I know, beats headphones only work and deliver the best sounds quality when they are paired up with the beats audio technology. However this technology must be built into the device playing the music (HTC one x for example)
What I can't seem to understand is why are people installing beats software on their normal Android phones from the play store?
Those beats Headphones are not supposed to work without the technology built in to the device. Not with some random software called beats...

I can't help myself... "why are people buying Beats headphones at all ?" is the better question.
They're mediocre and you can get much better sound quality for your money.
It's a gimmick. It's just a pre-set equalizer. It's an .apk when it comes to Android phones. So I'm sure someone has ported or replicated it or whatever for people to download. Or they could just download an equalizer and figure it out themselves.
Thinking it's anything else is falling victim to their marketing.
i think it is just some kind of marketing
Not sayin that the whole beats audio thing is fake or non-effective or anything but well as asparov said...It's Dre, ppl just can't say no to Dre.
I have install beats audio in my tab and its playing smooth, and clean rather than stock music

I agree, its a complete gimmick. Its just a marketing scheme to get young kids who idolize celebrities in the hip hop/rap game to buy their junk. Its funny that it actually works though. People now walk around with those huge headphones. makes me a laugh a little.
I see. So if beats audio built in technology is just a preset equalizer than the whole beats audio thing is a scam.
Although I will admit those beats headphones have alot of good looks and style...

Recent HTC phones like Windows phone 8X and butterfly/DNA also include a built in 2.55V beats amp

Unless you have beats headphones, I find it to provide crappy sound on most non-beats headphones/speakers.
In fact an app called Volume+ has a EQ option called "Good Quality" that sounds better IMO on all of my headphones and my Infuse 4G's speakers.
